Matzek is scheduled to pitch in the Rockies' spring opener Wednesday, the Denver Post reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rockies are considering Matzek to be part of the competition for a rotation spot this spring, but he may stick as a reliever if he fails to win a starting role. The young lefty took time away from baseball last summer to deal with performance anxiety issues, but he's impressed during bullpen sessions early on this spring.
